Hi Imogen – what does a 51 yo H shape wear to a party in Melbourne where there’ll be a range of ages from 17-70! I don’t want to look like either age but want to feel stylish, comfortable and age appropriate. Any ideas gratefully accepted.
Cheers, Lynda 🙂

I’m 60 years old and going to a tim mcgraw concert. I have a black pleather jacket w fringe I want to wear. I’m pear shaped 5’2. I’m struggling with what to wear. I have white jean capris w a white top, a long sleevless light gray vneck dress, or long black dress.
WHat would you suggest?
Thank you

By using any body calculator I come out as an hourglass. I feel I look more rectangular. Bust/Waist/Hips are 39″28″39″. I’m 5’5″”, 131 lbs , and no matter what I try I fell like I look huge in clothes. Could I be a different shape than the calculators say? Constantly buying unflattering clothes and I wonder if I’m shopping for the wrong shape. I’d appreciate any advice. Thank you!

Hi Imogen. I’ve been reading your advise for a while now and feel that I still am not sure as to my coloring – (altho I’ve come a long way with your help!). I’m a bit of a controversy – I have natural strawberry blond hair, freckles, grey eyes, bluish undertones, but I also tan (whether self-tanners or real). I know I look good in navy, black, cobalt blue, turquoise and jade. But sometimes I look good in jewel tones and camel doesn’t (seem) to wash me out, however that’s probably the thing I struggle with the most – wondering if I look ‘washed out’. It does always help if I wear lipstick! Can you help me?

I do personal colour analysis as part of my 7 Steps to Style program https://insideoutstyleblog.com/7-steps-to-style-system – without actually seeing you and working with my colour anaylsis system it’s hard for me to give you any specific or useful advice. Plus colour naming is arbitrary, apart from black and process blue – the rest of the names can mean anything. Once person’s cobalt blue is cool, another person’s is warm.

Hi Imogen,
I’m 70 and walk quite bent forward due to a spinal problem. What can I wear to de-emphasize this humpback appearance? I am 5’5”, 165 lbs., and hourglass shaped. Thank you for your suggestions.

Hi Imogen
Last year I had my colour analysis done by a consultant using your system and was told I was of warm colour and given a “SPICY”colour swatch to take home. My question is if I am looking on Pinterest and other websites does spicy come under Autumn colouring and is it warm,soft,deep

Earlier this year I had a wardrobe consultation with a stylist who told me I could wear anything (not true!). I came away not even knowing what body shape I had and no real vision to help me move forward. It was quite frustrating, until I found your blog. From reading & studying your website, I have learned so much. Thank you for all the information you share with your readers! I am saving up to do ‘7 Steps to Style’, but in the meantime I have a question about my proportions:

I am an X-shape, with a long neck, long torso (long rise) & short legs (wide thighs in comparison to my very thin calves). My shoulders seem to be a little wider than my hips, but everything else about me fits the X-shape description. Due to an unresolved knee injury, I am unable to wear heels to lengthen my legs…I can tolerate a maximum of 1.5cm elevation – not much to work with!

Kia ora Imogen, I have been trying for some time to connect to receive your emails, but only get the processing or an unavailable message.
30 years ago I had my colours analysed by an awesome consultant who categorised me as a Bright. She said at the time, my colouring would soften as I get older. With grey hair(currently with fading turquoise highlights) and skin that has become more golden(tumeric supplements)I am at the point now where I think I need to be “redone”. Would your seven steps progamme help?
Thanks for all the great tips and posts with great advice.

I discovered your style blog today and would love to sign up to a course, but I’m not sure where to begin. As well as the four options on this website, there’s Your Type of Style which also interests me. What would you recommend as a first step?

I’d recommend doing 7 Steps to Style (which includes Evolve Your Style) as this gives you the what suits you information. Ignite Your Style Genius is an extension program once you’ve done 7 Steps and Evolve. Your Type of Style is currently on waitlist until our next intake which won’t be until next year.

Thank you, Imogene,
I just discovered your blog as part of my New Year’s resolution to be more true to myself outwardly as well as inwardly. At age 68 I think it’s about time, no? I am devouring your Style Type report for me, playing with my wardrobe, scanning Pinterest and having a great time with it all.
Here’s my dilemma. I am SO concerned about having a sustainable lifestyle, that the idea of clothes only being in style for a limited number of years seems wrong. I was raised with the maxim (which I still subscribe to) of “Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without.” What’s a stylish woman to do?
